Watt takes high road on Warmack’s “just another guy” comments

He may look like a pro wrestler, but Texans defensive end J.J. Watt doesn’t talk like one.

Unfortunately.

On Wednesday, reporters had a chance to ask Watt about recent comments from Titans guard Chance Warmack, who dubbed the 2012 NFL defensive player of the year “just another guy.” Watt took the high road in response.

Unfortunately.

“I let my play do the talking,” Watt said, via quotes distributed by the team. (Our friend at SportsRadio 610 in Houston provided the head’s up.) “That’s fine. I put my helmet just like everybody else. It’s what I do once the helmet is on that matters.”

With or without his helmet, Watt still wants to get 20 sacks in 2013.

“Absolutely,” Watt said. “A lot of people don’t think it can be done. A lot of people don’t think it’s possible, but I love doing impossible things. That’s my favorite.”

His new favorite likely will be getting some of those sacks by rolling Warmack like a bowling ball into Jake Locker’s legs. But the rematch won’t happen until December 29.

I still think the media blew those comments the hell up and took them out of context. He was just saying that Watt is still human like the rest of us (except AP of course) and just because the dude is an animal doesn’t mean he can’t have certain weaknesses that show up on tape.

The Texans beat the Chargers but all Watt did was a bunch of nothing. Once the Texans had the lead he started flexing and acting all roided up…but thats about it. But props to the rest of their team for not getting abused by a rookie (Fluker) all night.

honestly didn’t watch the game, only saw the highlights where you don’t really get a feel for how the line on either side of the ball played. how did warmack do when he was up against watt? obviously watt is a freak, but if warmack was able to hold his own it’s just a rookie feeling his oats after a good game.
